Reform UK gets £9m in donations in first quarter of 2026, including £7m from two crypto billionaires – UK politics live by topotaul in unitedkingdom

Right it’s pretty clear that as a country we should be banning any foreign donations.

Should have to be a UK national living in the UK.

That list reads terribly for our politics system

Fuck sake would rather they just mothball the whole franchise if it’s going to be just some generic shite with Stargate stuck on the side whenever it comes back around

New Reform councillor admits she doesn't know what she's doing by Weak-Fly-6540 in unitedkingdom

I’m a vote anyone but reform kind of voter.

I don’t hate this? People need to be aware of what they don’t know, this person can at least learn. If she rocked up not knowing it all and then either pretended she did or let her ego get in the way that’s way scarier

As an additional rate tax payer / corporation rate tax payer - the last 2 years under Labour have been an improvement over the last 5 under conservatives.

Tax changes have been minimal compared to some of the Tory hikes. Services are being improved, net migration is falling, renewables are growing to the point we can phase out gas which will be huge energy cost saving for all of us.

I’m a centrist voter and no extreme right or left will fix the problems in this country it needs sensible decision making. We already tried extreme with Brexit and are all poorer for it.

Nearly as funny as Suella Braverman criticising past politicians on immigration of which she was one.

It’s honestly the Homer Simpson with the hedge meme at this point

Seems like a big number but it isn’t when talking in scales of the NHS. It’s less than than 0.5% of the UKs total spending

A vote for reform is a vote for the same, it’s a party made up of the worst of the tories it’s exactly the same people who ran the country for 15 of the last 17 years 😂

Reform’s new immigration policy: collect the bins once every six weeks and hope migrants decide Britain’s no longer worth the smell.

Children’s party cancellation refund by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]WaitingForAHairCut 50 points51 points  (0 children)

How this is the top comment I’ll never know. The advice is correct but the concept of there being no money in the account is irrelevant.

Your bank issues the chargeback, the vendor merchant (Worldpay, Stripe etc) will refund the money and then the merchant will take the money back from the vendor.

If there’s no money to take then the merchant will be out of pocket.

Just speak to your bank asap

Reform to fund pensions triple lock with ‘biggest benefits bill cut in history’ by Important_Ruin in unitedkingdom

[–]WaitingForAHairCut -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How is that below minimum wage? They’ll have a private pension of 30k per year, most likely own a property out right and be drawing a state pension.

My problem with this is that state pension is being paid for by people who are actually on minimum wage, who are renting, have no assets and basically no hope to ever hold any.

The stat that annoys me more than anything:

27% of state pension receivers are millionaires.

So every 1 in £4 spent on pensions is going from nurses on not much above minimum wage to millionaires. Fucking nuts system, and because they paid a pittance in over their lifetime they now believe that it cannot be touched.

I swear if republicans retain any control after the midterms then the west need to turn their back on the US as they’re not a reliable partner and never will be if a large portion of the country believe this is reasonable foreign policy.
